Thanks for everyone’s comments. Annaesthetic23, if Ryanne and Jay would allow it, I would be very interested in you sharing that book when it is available for reading? You did say it is about eBay, correct? Thank you.
My Sales Ending 9/5/20
Notes: Terapeak subscription for one month to help determine profit on death piles by looking at yearly averages and high sales. Reduced death piles from approximately 200 items to approximately 60 items. Donated remainder. Should help me keep average at $30 per item rather than the lower profits I’ve been seeing lately and help me prepare for rental of my current home and a move to a better home in 2021.

My Sales Week Ending 8/22/20
Notes: Just getting to my stats. What the…? Wish I had time to do more than glance at all your interesting posts. Very busy between distance learning 8 year old, yard, and research. Using Terapeak this month to focus on more profitable items and donating a larger percentage of death piles. Seems many of us are asking if we want to spend time on the smaller fish. For instance, Ralph Lauren – YES. Dockers – NO. 🙂

$ Spent Sourcing: $0.11Wow! You’ve got me laughing. Way to go. Not sure I’m that disciplined but we’ll see but you are absolutely right!
Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. I feel recharged – despite I have to work 6 days this week. It is great to hear that others have been in the same place. I have already doubled my listings and sold 1 item more than last week with a running profit of $80.14. Yay!
Most of my items right now are shoes and clothes because my mother-in-law won’t stop giving me stuff to sell. 🙂 I really want to sell comics (and am making headway on building that pipe) but it is hard to turn down the higher end clothing she keeps giving me for free. Here are my averages for the year so far: Duration of listings: 81 days; Average Profit: $37.37.
And I have definitely experimented with breaking up the week. Consistency is key. And I do give some value to the algorithm theories but some days I list two things and some days none.
Thanks again, everyone!Hey, Kentucky Picker! I have fond memories when I hear the word “Kentucky.” I had an old friend named Forbes from Kentucky when I lived in Baltimore. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement. I’ll keep on going!
Thanks for the feedback, Retro Treasures WV. I am OK with waiting for things to move – no problem there. All my inventory is stuff I am still selling from around the house and my mother-in-law’s house. I have probably 200 listing on hangers and in boxes waiting to be sorted and listed. So no sourcing needed yet. But I am OK waiting for these to sell and even if I only sell a few items a week but I keep listing, I feel like I accomplished something. Just some weeks I can hardly get more than a few items listed. But it is good to know that I am on the right track and it will just take time.
I love your back-drop recommendation. That sounds great.
Oh – and all my listings are pre-packaged since I work and have three boys and I never know what’s going to happen. I usually get my listings out same day but I have them on 2 day handling just in case.
